YES! THIS IS TRUE! It happened to me at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store
#1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston , TX 77037 ) a month ago. I bought a
bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was
handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her I didn't
request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the $40
because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor.
Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it. I said NO! Taking the $40
would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying interest on
a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to
delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the
whole order & re-scan everything! The20second time I looked at the
electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that
point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The
cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. Obviously the
cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me
the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through
before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?
This could probably happen at any store where they will give you cash back
so be cautious.
Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford DE Walmart last week.
She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and
didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the
cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her
receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20
cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK. My co worker called Walmart who
investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then
called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. There
is a scam going on. The cashier will ask for cash back and hand it to her
friend who is the next person in line. Please, Please, please check your
receipts right away when using debit cards. The store has the cashier under
investigation now. We can only
pray that she is caught very soon.
I am adding to this. My husband and I were in WalMart North Salisbury and
paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer
he just happen to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the
cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine
has been messing up and she canceled it. We really didn't think anything
of it until we read this email. Please be aware
I am adding to this too! This just happened to me for $80 last week at the
Walmart on Lumsden in Brandon, FL. So it is happening close to home!
I think the cashier thought I wasnt paying attention, but I looked right at
the receipt, when she saw me do this, she said "here's your cash back".
I told her I didnt request cash back and to void the transaction. She said
she couldnt and told the machine has been doing that lately. I told her
that if she knew
it was messing up, she should do something about it. She said I would have
to take the cash and deposit it back in to my bank (I had used debit) I
was ticked
but was in a hurry, so I took the cash then went to my bank at lunch time.
I felt uneasy about the whole thing.. It seemed like she was up to
something.
If I wouldnt have noticed, she would have slipped the cash in her pocket.
There was nobody in line behind me.
Just thought I would pass this along, I know fellow BOTL'ers shop @ Wal-Mart from time to time. I call it the "necessary evil"!
